Not Your Usual Hostess Gifts

This year, it seems as though most of the usual large-scaled, over the top, corporate holiday soirees have been reallocated to intimate, elegant at-home parties. Frankly, I like these gatherings better anyway!
But instead of arriving with the usual bottle of wine, why not really let your hostess know how much you appreciate their efforts? Surprise them with one of these well thought-out and memorable little gifts. They will last well beyond the party and serve as a lovely reminder of your appreciation. Happy Holidays!
